Annotated Bibliography

This bibliography was complied by Robert Gecy and Michael Furniss of the US Forest Service. It is a compilation of about 600 articles on Earth’s climate and the effects of climate change, organized topically. Individual papers may be included in more than one topic. Studies of climate change on every continent are included, but the majority of papers listed here are relevant to North America in general and the western U.S., in particular. Author abstracts and hyperlinks to sources for the full text are included for all but a few of the citations. Most hyperlinks lead to the publisher's web sites where users with electronic access may download copies of individual papers. Many publishers offer access for a fee to non-subscribers. The bibliography is not exhaustive, comprehensive, or fully contemporary, but rather a representative sample of the published material. Readers are strongly encouraged to consult other reference resources as well.
